So good for a treat 1 mile from the home. Vanilla Custard/Tangerine Italian Ice combo is my favorite! I also enjoy the Cotton Candy Italian Ice. Our kids ask to go here often! Like every day 😂

A great seafood restaurant according to some guests who have visited the home! Not fancy, only outdoor eating and has a market attached to it. You can sit back and enjoy some delicious seafood while watching fishing boats come in off the ocean.

This park is 2 miles from the home and manatees can usually be seen between the months of February-October. It is not a usual tourist place so sit back and enjoy the peaceful manatees. I really enjoy riding our beach cruiser bike to see the manatees when we visit.

A bit of a drive from the home but worth it if you want to see manatees in the winter (usually mid to end of November-February). The manatees are drawn to the warm water of Big Bend power plant. We have not been here yet but locals tell us it is family friendly and free. I recommend to check out Portosueno Park first because it is only 2 miles from the home vs. a longer drive.

A bit of a drive from the home but worth it!! We parked by beach access #7. The beach was narrower and less busy there. We were lucky enough to have 2 dolphins swim by us while we were searching for sand dollars. There is a sand bar between beach access #7 and #8. Often you can find Sand Dollars there in waist deep water.
There is a small trolley that goes up and down the road near the beach.

This park is 1/2 mile from the home. You can walk, ride one of the bikes or drive. If you like pickle ball you need to check out the league at this park! The Pickle Ball courts are incredible!! Olympic size pool with diving boards and slide, disc golf, playground for kids, dog park, skate park. The front desk concierge told me if you want to swim laps it is $3 and you have access to the weight room.

交通資訊
Cars are the best way to get around. We have 3 bikes also.
The home is 10 minutes from the fabulous beaches of Anna Maria Island. We usually take Manatee Road to get to the beaches. During peak season another option is taking Cortez Road to Coquina beach on the far south side of the island.
